Excerpt from The Weld Sermon, 1913: Preached at St. Benedict's, Hindley God loves all His creatures, even those that love Him not, and we live and move surrounded by that love even when we despise it just as the common air presses us on all sides and we care nothing, except perchance it is entirely withdrawn. Then we suffer. This is what makes Dante say that Hell is the inven tion of the Primal Love. But as the air wakes and stirs us in breeze or storm, so the Love of God once tried to storm the hearts of men when He sent His Son 'in our nature to submit to all the consequences of sin, and die for love of us. There is always some place in the world where the wind is blowing strong, and there is always one institution where the storm of love that raged on Calvary is no way Spent, and that is the Church of the Living God, a Divine paradox, the only created vessel that can hold and safely hold the Uncreated Love, whose lips alone can say in verytruth that God is Love. Come, and I will shew thee the Bride, the wife of the Lamb. I have known ignorant and timid people who were afraid to join the Catholic Church because they said there were so many things to learn. But for those outside to think this, or for those inside to encourage the thought is a lamentable mistake, because the Church reckons to know nothing among you but Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. Putting on one side those things by which she knits the body of the faith ful into one, Holy Order, her live intercourse with the saints and their Queen and with all the faithful departed, she exists for nothing else than to give us the Death of Christ, to apply it to us, to do it in us more and more until she consigns us to the standard bearer Michael, to be led forward into the holy light, as it were one diamond round about the Throne. We are so many and so various and so changeable that she must use different ways of doing the same thing, but her purpose is one and simple just as her God's purpose, which is to fill us with the unquenchable delights of His most holy Love.
